Global Vectra Opts for Airbus’ HCare Smart

Global Vectra Helicorp Ltd. will use Airbus’ HCare Smart material management plan to support the new H130 flying charter and religious tourism flights. The Mumbai-headquartered company, among India’s largest private helicopter operators, said the support program should provide “optimal availability for daily shuttle operations” by the light helicopter, which has been flying in the Himalayas for several months. The “Smart” level of HCare is a power-by-the-hour service that offers parts exchanges within 24 hr “with no upfront payment required for new contracts,” as well as parts and repair services, Airbus said.
